Advanced Driving Courses

Advanced driving teaches drivers greater control of their vehicle, helping them to improve a range of motoring skills.

Advanced driving at Always Pass Driving School, helping you to improve your range of motoring skills. The aim is to develop drivers who are more considerate when out on the road, more confident and competent behind the wheel, and generally more observant. Above all else, the intention is for drivers who take an advanced driving course to become safer motorists.
When you take an advanced driving course with Always Pass Driving School, it should also help to prepare you for dealing with difficult conditions, particularly in winter, when roads may be affected by snow, ice and sleet. You may be better prepared to cope with driving in slippery conditions.

Why can an advanced driving course help to reduce my car insurance cost?

Taking an advanced driving course should result in a reduction in the cost of your car insurance policy. It’s advisable to have a conversation with your car insurance provider before booking – advanced driving courses come at a cost, obviously – to get their opinion. And every car insurance provider may have a different view.

What you might experience is more of a longer term effect, in positive way. Logically, by improving your motoring skills, ability, and overall awareness, you should be a safer driver – which could result in you being able to build up a record of no claims. If you do this consistently, it’s reasonable to assume that you’ll see a reduction on the price of your car insurance at renewal time. After all, becoming a safer and more complete driver is always a good thing. That should really be the main aim of taking any advanced driver course.
